We have covered all facets of mobile technology for years and the one undying fact, perhaps the only one, is that the more mobile the tech the more personal it is. Devices and computers that are meant to be highly portable will have strengths and compromises to achieve that high degree of mobility. These strengths and weaknesses are often the factors that determine if a given device is appropriate for a given user. One man's ...

Cloud will be installed alongside Windows allowing users to boot Windows from the Cloud interface when needed. Cloud provides a browser and access to core web applications such as the Google suite of apps, Skype, ...

Craziness: Buy one Fujitsu laptop, get a new one every three years until you're dead. That's basically the crazy principle behind Fujitsu's Laptop4Life program. Sure, you have to buy the extended 3-year warranty at first, not damage the old machine too much, and hang onto the receipt for grim death, but then you'll get a lappy worth the same as your original, plus 10% for inflation. Okay, it ties you to one manufacturer, but think ...

Small notebook computers are no question perfect for students to use at school. The small and light form makes it easy to backpack around the school and as long as the notebook has fairly standard components it is more than sufficient to meet the needs of those students. The officials in the Australian state New South Wales agrees with that assessment and have announced that 197,000 public school students will get what sounds like netbooks ...

Great to see. I use the netbook I have almost solely for class notes and around campus, as the small form factor is far easier to manage than the standard Latitude

Διαβάζοντας την δημοσίευση του Michael Arrington στο Techrunch δεν έχω παρά να συμφωνήσω μαζί του στην ανάλυση που κάνει για τις δυνατότητες των netbooks και τα συγκριτικά μειονεκτήματα που αυτά μπορεί ή και που σίγουρα έχουν! Από την άλλη όψη βέβαια έχουμε μπερδέψει λίγο αυτά που ζητάμε! Δεν μπορεί μια συσκευή να τα κάνει όλα, τα netbooks είναι μια ειδική κατηγορία η οποία δεν ήρθε να καταρρίψει τις παραδοσιακές διαστάσεις και πόσο μάλλον τις επιδόσεις ...

A LG está lançando no mercado brasileiro o notebook LG P300-S, e tive o enorme prazer de colocar as mãos nele para um test-drive. A primeira impressão que tive foi "EU QUERO UM DESSES!" Mas vendo o preço e pensando nos seus concorrentes (como o MacBook Air), tive que fazer uma meditação mais profunda a respeito dele. Logo de cara, o P300 chama a atenção pelo seu design. A tampa do notebook possui um desenho ...

Five hundred bucks. In music tech terms, that usually gets you, what, a single app bundle? Now, it can get you a whole computer, pre-loaded with a bunch of music software. It may not be as powerful as a modern laptop, but it’s also in a cute, smaller form factor you can keep everywhere in case inspiration strikes, or balance on the corner of your Steinway grand. Meet the Indamixx laptop. Whether you want one ...

Two days ago, I took advantage of the special "Black Friday" pricing at Best Buy and nabbed a new 2.4GHz MacBook with 2GB of RAM for $150 off the list $1,599 price. I'm certainly glad I got the price discount and didn't have to battle the crowds later this week to get it. My first impression: it's always good to save money, but I think I would have been happy with this notebook at full ...

We're used to finding hidden easter eggs in software, but the HP Mini 1000 netbook deviates from the norm: It secretly contains a 3G modem. Chances are when you remove the HP Mini 1000's battery, you'll see a SIM card slot, according to Liliputing's Brad Linder. That means if you own a cell phone using a wireless data plan, you can take out its SIM and stick it into the netbook's slot to surf the ...

Apple's new MacBooks are mighty speedy, but they suffer from a huge performance drop if you remove the battery and use the AC adapter as the sole source of power. Gearlog's Zach Honig discovered that the MacBook sees a 37-percent drop in speed when running without a battery. Honig benchmarked a 2.53 GHz MacBook Pro using a multiprocessor test called Cinebench R10. With the battery present, the MacBook Pro turned in a score of 5,549. ...

A ban on fast food advertisements in the United States could reduce the number of overweight children by as much as 18 percent, according to a new study being published this month in the Journal of Law and Economics. The study also reports that eliminating the tax deductibility associated with television advertising would result in a reduction of childhood obesity, though in smaller numbers.

It was nearly six months ago when Samsung laid out their plan to manufacture an affordable, super-fast 256GB SSD by the end of the year. It sounded a little bit optimistic at the time, but as of today, they're here. Sort of. Samsung says that manufacturing has begun, but still hasn't let loose on the most important nugget: price. They have, however, elaborated a little bit on their claims of "disruptive" performance: the news SSDs ...

Ele tem algumas brechas: o posicionamento do microfone próximo à webcam está deslocado, não tem iluminação no teclado, não tem indicação de “MacBook Air”, roda ...
